1998 Honda Civic LX review from North America
"A waste of money that hasn't lasted 5 years"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The A/C blew up at 39,500 miles. American Honda paid for half of the repair.. not good enough I say. The car was sold to me as having Honda Keyless, and it was instead equiped with an after market alarm/keyless entry system that was *horrible*.
General comments?
The car has very thin metal on the side panels and it dings way too easily.
The paint isn't good quality paint and it wears out way faster than it should.
The seats are really uncomfortable for anyone over 6 feet tall.
